Hyrum (Beesley)

This is the tune used in the current (1985) LDS hymnal with A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief, although that hymnal refers to the tune as Duane Street. The actual name of the tune has not been verified to completion, but there is another tune called Duane Street that was also used with A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief (and both tunes were composed by George Coles).

This tune was also used in the Latter-day Saints Psalmody, 1889 (no. 34) with A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief, although it should be noted that in this book, the tune name was said to be Hyrum. Oddly, however, this book did not reference a composer or lyricist for the song at hand.
